Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to an adjustable conveying device for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] Adjustable conveyor systems for food processing are mechanical devices capable of adjusting the conveying angle, speed, or direction, used for the efficient and flexible transport of food raw materials or finished products during food processing. The main types of conveyor systems include: belt conveyors, flexible chain conveyors, mesh chain conveyors, chain plate conveyors, screw conveyors, vacuum conveyors, vibrating conveyors, and hollow plate conveyors. When processing spherical fruit products, some fruits need to be screened for size first. The conveyor belt's rotation speed is set, and the products are poured onto the belt conveyor. The conveyor belt then transports the products to the sorting equipment for further processing.

[0003] After harvesting, impurities and dust remain on the fruit surface, falling onto the conveyor belt. Since the conveyor belt converges at the end before flowing into the sorting equipment, blockages can occur, affecting the product conveying speed and consequently, the sorting efficiency. Therefore, an adjustable conveyor device for food processing is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model is an adjustable conveying device for food processing, comprising:

[0025] The conveying assembly includes baffles 11 and a conveyor belt 12, with the conveyor belt 12 rotatably connected to the inner sides of the two baffles 11.

[0026] The conveying assembly also includes a bracket 10, which is fixed to the lower end of the baffle 11;

[0027] The bracket 10 serves as a support for the upper baffle 11 and the conveyor belt 12. The baffle 11 also serves as a support for the motor and roller that control the rotation of the conveyor belt 12. The conveyor belt 12 is used to transport products and is rotatably connected to the roller. There is also a tensioning device below the conveyor belt 12 to adjust its slack.

[0028] The anti-blocking component includes a bearing housing 20, a servo motor 21, a rotating shaft 22, a collar 23, and a lever 25. The bearing housing 20 is fixed to the upper end of the baffle 11, the servo motor 21 is fixed to the side of one of the bearing housings 20, the rotating shaft 22 is fixed to the output end of the servo motor 21, the collar 23 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 22, and the lever 25 is movably connected to the side of the collar 23.

[0029] The anti-blocking component also includes a locking rod 24, which is screwed onto the collar 23 and has one end pressed against the rotating shaft 22;

[0030] The rotating shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the two bearing seats 20 and is located at the end of the conveyor belt 12 in the conveying direction;

[0031] There are three sets of collars 23 and levers 25, which are evenly distributed on the rotating shaft 22, and the levers 25 are arranged in a ring around the rotating shaft 22;

[0032] The bearing housing 20 provides support and has a bearing installed in the middle to facilitate the rotation of the shaft 22. The servo motor 21 provides the power source to drive the shaft 22 to rotate. The shaft 22 transmits power and can drive the collar 23 to rotate. The collar 23 serves as a connection and is fastened to the shaft 22 by the locking rod 24. The lever 25 is used to move the products on the conveyor belt 12.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] The collar 23 is placed on the rotating shaft 22, which is fixed to the output end of the servo motor 21. The collar 23 is moved to distribute it evenly, and the locking rod 24 on the collar 23 is tightened to fix the collar 23. At the same time as starting the conveyor belt 12, the servo motor 21 on the bearing seat 20 is started. The products to be sorted are poured in from the beginning of the conveyor belt 12. The servo motor 21 drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the lever 25 on the collar 23 to rotate, applying a backward pushing force to the products conveyed to the end of the conveyor belt 12. This can push the products blocking the end of the conveyor belt 12 onto the sorting equipment, and the subsequent products can fall smoothly.

[0035] This step prevents blockage at the end of conveyor belt 12, which would affect the conveying speed.

[0036] Please see Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes:

[0037] The damage prevention component includes a U-shaped fixing frame 31, a connecting shaft 32, and a torsion spring 33. The U-shaped fixing frame 31 is fixed to the side of the collar 23, the connecting shaft 32 is fixed to the inside of the U-shaped fixing frame 31, and the lever 25 is sleeved on the middle section of the connecting shaft 32. The torsion spring 33 is sleeved on both ends of the connecting shaft 32, with one end fixed to the side of the U-shaped fixing frame 31 and the other end fixed to the side of the lever 25.

[0038] The damage prevention component also includes a silicone strip 30, which is fixed and wrapped around the other end of the lever 25 away from the U-shaped bracket 31;

[0039] The silicone strip 30 prevents the lever 25 from directly hitting the product and damaging it. The U-shaped fixing bracket 31 provides support. The connecting shaft 32 facilitates the rotation of the lever 25. The torsion spring 33 allows the lever 25 to return to its original position after rotation.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] The rotating shaft 22 drives the collar 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the U-shaped fixing frame 31 to rotate. When the lever 25 drives the silicone strip 30 to rotate above the product, the collar 23 continues to rotate, and the silicone strip 30 adheres to the product, causing the lever 25 to rotate around the connecting shaft 32 until the product is pushed down. The lever 25 then rotates to the other side of the rotating shaft 22. Under the action of the torsion spring 33, the lever 25 returns to its original position and continues to rotate with the rotating shaft 22.

[0042] This step, in conjunction with the silicone strip 30 and the torsion spring 33, can prevent damage to the product when the lever 25 moves to the product.
